From FRIDAYS Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
A survey of the situation this morning
shows that no damage except the loss of
Mr.. Morrow's ferry boat occurred when
The ice went out last night. The dredge
boat is in very bad position and is liable
tomeet with great injury when the ice
which now holds the outer side up cuts
away. The barge was injured but will be
repaired without delay. Capt. Hilton has
some men at work with the view of
putting the dredge boat in safer position.
Nuke Lynch's ferry boat is in a good posi-
'Ion and will be propped up and the re-
pairs proceeded with. Ed. Smiths boat
iS also in good position. In day or
TWO ne will have it in the water making
regular trips. The tower on the other
SIDE OF the river is turned around, but
Mr. Smith says he can straighten that up
IN little while. A force of men are at
work removing the ice from the landing
on this side, and another gang will be put
a6 work on the other side at once.
Several houses on Front street were sur
rounded by water, which in many in
stances entered the dwellings and filled
Up cellars, but no serious damage is re-
ported. The ice is piled up on the banks
on both sides of the river, but the sun will
make short work of the accumulation.
The breakup occurring in the day time
afforded our citizens an opportunity OF
witnessing something which may never
occur again. The sight was grand one
and will not soon be forgotten by those
who were on hand to see it.

NOTES.

The dredge boat is landed on the shore
and is thus far all safe and sound.
Several families living on Front Street
removed to what they considered safe
location.
Notwithstanding all of the care taken
by Captain Hilton, a cake of ice knocked
ahole in the barge big enough to drive a
team in.
The news of the breaking up spread
rapidly and every one in town was ON the
leyee to witness the unusual proceeding of
the river.
when the ice broke, made rush for shore
when the rising water threatened to cut
OFT their retreat.
Mr.. J. r. Smith says his ferry boat is
safe. At the first movement of the ice a
heavy cake went directly under and raised
the boat high and dry.
Mike Lynch's house on the opposite
side of the river is partly under wafer and
a small frame building near by was moved
down the stream short distance.
The gorge has formed directly opposite
The Old Fort, with heavy current run
ing on the opposite shore and the ice is
piled up above high water mark on Durage
Island No l.
From the roof of the Grand Uniou ho-
tel magnificent view Of the gorge was
obtained. 1t extended up the river nearly
to the island and below to point nearly
opposite the old fort.
Capt. Hilton manned the capstan on the
dredge in order to spar the craft off from
the shore, but the body of ice was so
great that the effort was Intellectual, and
We shall probably witness another launch
ing without the presence of Capt. Durage.
